     summary: But now if he reply, and say hee careth not or regardeth not, what other men think, seyng hee hath no maner of euil or naughty meaninge in himselfe. Adde also that if any do deeply & seasonably consider this matter, I hope he shal not finde it so barren and of little edification, that it ought to be dispised or troden under foote: for many men of quality (yea euen in the company of notable personages) of name and authority, make no conscience to demaunde and aske whether it be yll done to daunce, demaunding also a formall or playne parcell and text of Scripture, by which it may appeare that daunses be prohibited and forbidden, otherwise they think not that they do euill in daunsing.

     summary: : young men and young women, together with young married people, with an occasional _sear and yellow leaf repainted_. If the style of dress often, yea, nearly always, seen at the _fashionable_ balls and dancing parties is wholly without any evil design--innocently following a fashion--and if those who thus dress are really ignorant of the effect it has upon the opposite sex, it is high time their eyes were being opened.

     summary: I have prayed God to spare my life that I might go and warn young girls against that which has made such a sad wreck of my once pure and happy life, for, when I entered dancing school, I was as innocent as a child and free from sin and sorrow, but under its influence and in its association I lost my purity, my innocence, my _all_, but I know that God has forgiven the sin which is sending me to my early grave, where I shall soon be forgotten by all earthly friends. Because they are graduates of dancing schools.

     summary: The Scripture sense of the term, _world_, is that collection of idolaters, unbelievers, and wicked men who constitute the great bulk of the inhabitants of our globe; in short all persons who do not belong to the Kingdom of God. _ He encourages all who live without hope and without God in the world to persevere in their neglect of religion, and to go on securely in the entire round of fashionable amusements.
